You do these "commercial" sections of your videos VERY well. This is the second time I actually got caught up in the sponsored section. The first time that happened, I watched the whole segment....and then realized how long I had just watched an advertisement. You got me, sis! This second time, just now, I watched probably half before I realized.....what am I doing, I can click right to the movie! lol Your sponsors should definitely be happy because I swear, I can't remember that EVER happening in my life. Ads and commercials = mute button! You make it personal and sincere and conversational and you segueway smoothly from your intro to the ad.....it's a good magic trick! :)
Have you seen Looney Tunes: Back In Action? It's another live action/animation.. personally I prefer it to Space Jam but a lot of people won't, and I understand why, just a personal preference.. Brendan Fraser in his prime though.. yummy 😋 x
context is everything. . . this movie was really big when it came out. It was long considered Sandler's best movie and earned him a lot of cred. Also important was that the movie really served as the first big launching point of 80's nostalgia as 80s kids began entering their thirties.
Exactly!!!! That’s why Hot Tub Time Machine is such an underrated movie. It hits the mark on 80’s movies perfectly!! Even referencing Cusack movies directly!!
Punch Drunk Love came out just a few years later, so I'm not sure how long this could have been considered his best movie. But it's great, and even just a step towards rom-com territory was showing range for Sandler at the time.
Its funny that when this movie came out, the 80's wasn't that far removed. And whats sad is, I'm old enough to have both seen this movie in theaters AND live through the 80's. Fuck, I'm old! T.T
As someone who grew up as a teenager in the 80s and saw this when it came out in the late 90s, I LOVE this movie. So well done to make it feel like it was the 80s.
A great time period movie.Probably my favorite Sandler next to Little Nicky .As a teenager at the time the references were pretty much spot on and yes that really was Billy Idol in the movie..Quick question Shanelle , how well do you know Steve???
@@DjJokerr Well buddy, some people out there might get the impression that Adam Sandler fans are a little on the dumb side...and you're not doing any favors for those fans by clearly misunderstanding the comment you're responding to.
Christine Taylor looks so good in this movie. The 80's aesthetic kills on her. If you haven't seen her in Dodgeball or Zoolander, check them out. She is married to Ben Stiller and has great chemistry with him on screen.
Drew totally lives up to her pedigree. It was a little rough there at the start, but she got the support she needed, and it saved her from a major "Hollywood Child Star" crash and burn.
Man, I know I've seen both this and 50 First Dates numerous times, and my opinions on the whole have fluctuated, but it always floors me how reduculously amazing Sandler and Barrymore's chemistry is.
Yep me too! That was actor Michael Vale. Everyone alive back in the early 80s remembers those commercials fondly, because all of us have had jobs like that at some point, where you go to work at 4 AM half asleep. Sadly, Michael passed away in 2005 at age 83.
if you haven’t seen it yet, i think O Brother Where Art Thou? would make a great addition to your roster. music numbers, off beat comedy, period film and based off of the odyssey. i think you’ll really love it!
I love that the Boy George look alike is Alexis Arquette, the same actor that busted out of the bathroom and tried to shoot Vince and Jules in Pulp Fiction.
First, yes, disappointed at the non reaction to Billy. He was my GOD in the 80s. Second, yes, Reign Over Me is an incredible film. A tough watch, but fantastic.
We loved the love song, "I Wanna Grow Old With You" so much we had it played at our wedding reception. The older couple is a real married couple. So sweet! Also, "Reign Over Me" is another very solid Adam Handler film and a beautiful story about the brotherhood that two men can experience together.
Tiffany’s song I think we’re alone now is classic 80s vibe and a significant nostalgia hit. Makes me think of all the 80s movies I’ve seen and just fills me with joy but also a sense of sadness and loss.
@@primemover1416 Ok, I had to double check this one, and she did help write the script, but maybe not the lion's share. There's a comment from Billy Crystal where he said the script was as great as it was because of Fisher's contributions.
I’ve liked Sandler ever since “Remote Control” on MTV them was some fun days also 50 first dates is one of my favorites thanks Shanelle always a good time here at your place!
I was an extra in the Waterboy. I was in the crowd in the stadium at the end of the movie. It was filmed in Orlando Florida. The end of the movie was filmed at the Citrus Bowl. I have HenryWinklers autograph. I worked at Walt Disney World back then. They had us move from one end of the stadium to other areas to make the stadium look full. It took several hours to film just a few minutes that ended up in the film. I still haven’t found myself in the crowd. It was long and very uneventful but I had fun.
I'd have to say that my favourite Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore movie is the 50 First Dates. This is the one film that I'd love to see a sequel to. And it would be good if it was released and set in 2024, on the 20th anniversary of the first. Great reaction 👏👍. All the very best, Trevor from East London, UK.
Hey Shannelle, the most interesting actor/actress in this film is potentially the Boy George impersonator played by Alexis Arquette. He was originally born as Robert Arquette but later legally changed her name to Alexis. Yeah, of those Arquettes, as in Rosanna, Patricia, and David.He was the Jerry Seinfeld guy that burst out of the side room and shot at Vincent and Jules without landing a single shot in Pulp Fiction. She died of complications related to HIV at the age of 47. It's a story worth looking into. And I don't mean to offend anybody with my use of pronouns, I am only using the ones that the person adopted during those periods in their life.
@@stevenotjackramsey Hah come on now... I know that wasn't really Jerry. I just know that's what he's always been referred to as. Nobody has ever, ever, mentioned the real name. A random unknown Arquette sibling. That's crazy.
they were on Jimmy Fallon a couple of years ago promoting another movie they did together and they sang a song making fun of all the times they worked together and Adam finished it with "i could be the man who grows all with you" and Drew broke and cried hahaha they are so cute. friends goals
Drew was also pregnant with her second daughter. That's why she got emotional when Adam sang "I wanna grow old with you" at the end, which is a classic in the history of "Jimmy Fallon"!
This movie is a lot of fun for me, as a Gen X member, the music, clothes, sets. The clothes, hair, and decor is all fun and cringe and the same time. I enjoy Drew and Adam Comedies, and I didn't mind that it took them the whole movie to get together, leaves time for more comedy.
Word of mouth on this movie was insane. Everyone who saw it the first weekend went back to offices on the Monday and said you HAVE to see this movie, it's really fun with an AMAZING 80s soundtrack. Second week sales were through the roof. Sold out everywhere. People were seeing it multiple times. Without a doubt, this is the film that made Sandler a star in the UK.
I love how much you loved the peripherals of this movie...yeah, there's a plot and all that, but the clothes/hair/references/decor are what the movie is ACTUALLY about...
@@ShanelleRiccio That is great! I love that! The opening scene was filmed at the club I used to work at, I saw it filmed! (when he stage dives and no one catches him). Williamsburg, Brooklyn, early 2000s. Good times! :) I love that you love this movie, I just rewatched it, couldn't believe how great it held up. :D
Adam and Drew remain good friends. I enjoy watching their chemistry on the screen. If you haven't seen 50 First Dates, maybe check them out in that, too.
As a child of the 1980's (class of 1986!) - this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. The music is soooo good, they made 2 CDs - soundtrack volume 1 and volume 2....
When you commented on Glenn Gulia's outfit in the pink shirt and white jacket, he was essentially cosplaying as Detective Crockett from the TV show Miami Vice. -facial stubble included. Later when his DeLorean car door opened the Miami Vice theme music was blaring.
I like this movie, because it takes place in the 80s. I'm always nostalgic for the 80s. You should watch and do a reaction to the other 2 Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore movies, *"50 First Dates"* and *"Blended".* These movies are good too.
This is my absolute favourite Sandler movie and has been since it came out. Drew Barrymore is just so endearing and their chemistry is off the chart. It was also turned into a great Broadway musical (that confirms that it is set in Ridgefield, New Jersey)!
Thanks for reacting to this. The Wedding Singer is my favorite rom com of all time. Drew Barrymore was my teenage celebrity crush back in the early 2000’s, and the only reason I watched it for the first time was because she was in it, nothing against Adam Sandler. It also introduced me to ‘80’s nostalgia before it was even a thing.
The old guy at the bar (who says "everything is gonna be alright") is Carmen Filpi, who was in a TON of movies mostly playing bums and drunks, including "Old Man Withers" in Wayne's World...In fact, his roles in Wedding singer and Wayne's World are pretty much identical....
One of my favorite Sandler movies. I mean it takes place in the 1980’s! Great look, great soundtrack. Love Adam and Drew together. Everyone is funny, even the side characters. Lots of subtle humor all over the place. Just makes me smile overall. It hits even more on the big screen with the colors and the music in surround sound. Was a great theater movie believe it or not! I’m starting to realize that “Love My Way” by The Psychedelic Furs is truly one of the greatest 80’s songs. I think there’s 2 scenes that they use that song. Brings an emotion out of me every time I hear it.
I love, LOVE “Punch Drunk Love” it’s not exactly a standard Sandler film though. I think, that movie and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” are my two favorite films that have the main character being played straight and not for the normal laughs they aren’t known for it they’re all the better for it.
Saw this in the theaters. I was in high school on a date with an on again, off again girlfriend. I recall we enjoyed the movie, and the theater was packed. I have vague memory of it being a widely talked about film among my peers at school too. Fun flick to watch with a date. :)
I actually like your take on Drew's look in the movie because, while this is one of those "comfort food" movies for my wife and I, it's always bugged us that Drew didn't look like she belonged in the 80s with her hair and outfits.
Pretty sure Billy Idol was always either sitting down or against something... he was in an accident prior that messed him up physically. What a trooper though!
I wonder what she would think of "Home Fries" , Drew Barrymore was center stage in that movie. It kinda reminds me of "Raising Arizona" craziness. I think it came out around the same time as "The Wedding Singer" too.
The Wedding Singer was also turned into a Broadway musical with comedy musician Stephen Lynch in the Robbie Hart role. While the musical doesn't use the pop songs from the soundtrack, it's original songs that move the plot forward are pastiches of pop songs of the era. That said "Somebody Kill Me" and "Grow Old With You", the songs Sandler wrote for the film, are in the musical in expanded forms. Also, the musical version is set where you thought the movie was: New Jersey.
I saw this in the theaters when it came out and loved it.. this was when Sandler was on fire and could do no wrong.. this movie hasn't aged well for me personally, but it's still fun.. Happy Gilmore is the quintessential Sandler film, it's him in all his glory..
Hey Shan, this movie hits home because I graduated in 1985. The soundtrack the clothes, Linda, literally every girl in my graduating class was Linda. You're so right Drew Barrymore being the American treasure that she is as usual delivers 110%. Her performance almost seems out of place in the middle of the Sandler silliness. As always, you're awesome.❤️💚☘️
17:53 "I know nothing about cars, you guys..." TH-cam interrupts with a used car ad. The iconic 'cocaine white' Ferrari Testarossa in Miami Vice. Everything done by her cheating fiancee was based on Miami Vice.
Why Oh Why can't I find a gal like you? Loves 80's movies? Awesome! I was born 72, So an 80's kid fully! Turned 18 in 90. Can't get more 80's kid than that. I am enjoying watching these movies with you. You freaking ROCK!! I've grown up watching them, and have seen them so much, it's meraviglioso, watching you enjoy the movies I've loved my whole life! Plus, new movies suck SOOOOO BAD!! BTW I play guitar and sing, and I've performed the Hanukkah song, and songs from this movie, more than a few times for drunk people at parties at ECU, back in the day
The one movie I started to know Adam Sandler. I think my Mom loved this one because it's taking place in the 80s, and of course, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore 😊 And now I do.
Interestingly, George was played by Alexis Arquette who was one of the Arquette acting siblings, and who also appeared in 'Pulp Fiction' but as a male (the guy who emptied a revolver at John Travolta and Samuel Jackson and missed), before she transitioned to female and changed her name to Alexis. She died in 2016 at the age of only 47 as a result of complications from AIDS.
JR... JR..... Who Shot JR? was a HUGE deal at the time, because the show ended with someone shooting JR, and then the writer's strike happened and the whole country went nuts. lol

This movie’s underrated imo. Even non Adam Sandler fans dig it
ROFL I basically just typed the same thing about myself :P
Yeah I generally don't like Adam Sandler, but I like this and Punch Drunk Love.

Drew totally lives up to her pedigree. It was a little rough there at the start, but she got the support she needed, and it saved her from a major "Hollywood Child Star" crash and burn.
In Sandler's recent Netflix standup show he sings 'grow old with you' again but to his real life wife, it's so cute!
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION YESTERDAY enters my brain daily!!!
Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, and Ben Stiller made the 90s and 00s a fun time for me 😌
Man, I know I've seen both this and 50 First Dates numerous times, and my opinions on the whole have fluctuated, but it always floors me how reduculously amazing Sandler and Barrymore's chemistry is.
"Never Been Kissed" 1999 stars Drew Barrymore. It is so sweet and set in a high school. Some good cameos too!
“Time to make the doughnuts”
Oh no-that makes me feel old. I remember that now! LOL
Yep me too! That was actor Michael Vale. Everyone alive back in the early 80s remembers those commercials fondly, because all of us have had jobs like that at some point, where you go to work at 4 AM half asleep. Sadly, Michael passed away in 2005 at age 83.
The "my dad used to say that" really drives it home...
I just remember Lovitz on SNL parodying his retirement with "Time to make the donuts....and time to die!"
Yeah I think I remember they did a more recent ad campaign where brought him back for a couple commercials shortly before he passed away.
if you haven’t seen it yet, i think O Brother Where Art Thou? would make a great addition to your roster. music numbers, off beat comedy, period film and based off of the odyssey. i think you’ll really love it!
Ooh I second this! Love that movie!
But stay out of the Woolsworth! (I know, but that’s how he says it.)
"He's losing his mind and I'm reaping all the benefits." is still one of my favorite lines in a movie. Great reaction as always Shanelle.
I love that the Boy George look alike is Alexis Arquette, the same actor that busted out of the bathroom and tried to shoot Vince and Jules in Pulp Fiction.
Lol I remember looking her up years ago to figure out who played George and found out about the pulp fiction role. Really sad he/ she/ they died.
@@fenderfox5080 It’s HE/HIM/MAN He was not a woman. A man could never have the one thing that makes a woman a real woman. A woman’s heart.

"Nobody talks to Billy Idol that way!"
I was impressed by Adam Sandler in Reign Over Me
First, yes, disappointed at the non reaction to Billy. He was my GOD in the 80s. Second, yes, Reign Over Me is an incredible film. A tough watch, but fantastic.
“I look at a German shepherd and all I can see is our goddamn poodle!
Okey”
*kiss kiss*
😢
Sandler is an excellent dramatic actor. "Uncut Gems" is another excellent one.
The tv show 'The Goldbergs' did an episode called the wedding singer and used clips from the movie and Jon Lovitz did a cameo.
BUY MY BOOK, BUY MY BOOK, BUY MY BOOK
I consider The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, and Blended to be an unofficial trilogy about finding love at three distinct phases of life.
Interesting! I’ll have to rewatch these and check it out.
It goes without saying but release order naturally.
We loved the love song, "I Wanna Grow Old With You" so much we had it played at our wedding reception. The older couple is a real married couple. So sweet! Also, "Reign Over Me" is another very solid Adam Handler film and a beautiful story about the brotherhood that two men can experience together.
I fell in love with Drew Barrymore in this movie. She's absolutely adorable! She's precisely the type of woman I'd want to marry.
she will always look 20 and thats impressive.

My favorite RomCom is “While You Were Sleeping”
I enjoyed it at the time, but it seems really creepy in retrospect. Gender switch it and see if it still seems cute.
My favorite Christmas movie 💙
This is one of the very few Adam Sandler movies that I can stand watching.
😁 Mine too!
I actually like Adam Sandler... And still completely agree with your statement.
50 first dates too
This is a great Adam Sandler movie! One of his best!
Adam and Drew just have perfect screen chemistry, you should really watch 50 first dates
Tiffany’s song I think we’re alone now is classic 80s vibe and a significant nostalgia hit. Makes me think of all the 80s movies I’ve seen and just fills me with joy but also a sense of sadness and loss.
Carrie FIsher did the lion's share of writing When Harry Met Sally as well, and didn't - take .... credit. She's a saint.

Guy singing "do you really want to hurt me?" Is the guy that pops out of the bathroom with gun in pulp fiction

Sandler and Barrymore have such great chemistry. This and "50 First Dates" are my favorites with these two.
Definitely Sandler's -best- least embarrassing movie.
Yeah before most of movies he makes from Happy Madison studios now suck.
Have you seen "Airheads", staring Brenden Frasier, Adam Sandler, and Steve Buscemi, and an all-star ensemble cast? It's ridiculously funny.
Who wins in a fight? Lemmy or God?
Everytime I had to go to work my mom would always ask me: "Time to make the donuts?
Adam Sandler isn't to everybody's liking, obviously, but he and Drew Barrymore have the most adorable onscreen chemistry I've ever seen.
as a GenX'r it was the 80's yes your friend could convince you to do that ..
Easy peasy. Lol
"Could your friend convince you to do that?" Yes, absolutely they could if and only if I already had feelings for the guy which she totally did. lol

Lots of subtle humor all over the place. Just makes me smile overall. It hits even more on the big screen with the colors and the music in surround sound. Was a great theater movie believe it or not!
I’m starting to realize that “Love My Way” by The Psychedelic Furs is truly one of the greatest 80’s songs. I think there’s 2 scenes that they use that song. Brings an emotion out of me every time I hear it.
Well, I was 34 years old when I realized that Carbone is in this movie and that's apparently his actual hair.
Or maybe they just couldn't defrost it for the autopsy...
My favorite line. "Well I have a microphone and you don't. SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!" lol
I love this channel. You do a great job with picking the movies and commentary. Thank you.
Love the old man in the bar. I call his move there coming into the shot and saying his line "breaking the 3rd wall." LMAO
Two words:
HAPPY GILMORE
She wont like Gilmore... its not serious in any way.. and that seems to be needed in comedies for her.
I love, LOVE “Punch Drunk Love” it’s not exactly a standard Sandler film though. I think, that movie and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” are my two favorite films that have the main character being played straight and not for the normal laughs they aren’t known for it they’re all the better for it.
The Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore chemistry is so good in this movie
Saw this in the theaters. I was in high school on a date with an on again, off again girlfriend. I recall we enjoyed the movie, and the theater was packed. I have vague memory of it being a widely talked about film among my peers at school too. Fun flick to watch with a date. :)
The girl you mentioned during the playback (Marsha Brady) was Christine Taylor, who is married to Ben Stiller.
I actually like your take on Drew's look in the movie because, while this is one of those "comfort food" movies for my wife and I, it's always bugged us that Drew didn't look like she belonged in the 80s with her hair and outfits.
Pretty sure Billy Idol was always either sitting down or against something... he was in an accident prior that messed him up physically. What a trooper though!
Yes, his accident was called "Cyberpunk" and he was still recovering from that 5 years later on 😋
This is one of my favourite movies of all time, forever quoting it!
I absolutely love Drew and Adam together this movie 50 1st dates and Blended are all really good
This movie was my image of the 80s more than the actual 80s.
Sandler's best movie. And showed he could really act. Him and Drew together, was magic.
Did this movie and "the Waterboy" really come out in the same year? '98 was a good time to be Adam Sandler
In 98 Drew Barrymore was also in Ever After, which is the best version of Cinderella. edit: she was also in Home Fries with Luke Wilson the same year.
You can do it!!!
@@misterkite then them 2 get back together for the 2004 50 First Dates
@@johnO21 And once again for blended
I fell in love with Drew when I saw this movie.
I wonder what she would think of "Home Fries" , Drew Barrymore was center stage in that movie. It kinda reminds me of "Raising Arizona" craziness. I think it came out around the same time as "The Wedding Singer" too.
The Wedding Singer was also turned into a Broadway musical with comedy musician Stephen Lynch in the Robbie Hart role. While the musical doesn't use the pop songs from the soundtrack, it's original songs that move the plot forward are pastiches of pop songs of the era. That said "Somebody Kill Me" and "Grow Old With You", the songs Sandler wrote for the film, are in the musical in expanded forms.
Also, the musical version is set where you thought the movie was: New Jersey.
12:36 That's a Patrick Nagel in the background. I've recently been obsessed with his paintings.
I saw this in the theaters when it came out and loved it.. this was when Sandler was on fire and could do no wrong.. this movie hasn't aged well for me personally, but it's still fun.. Happy Gilmore is the quintessential Sandler film, it's him in all his glory..
“Marsha Brady” was Ben Stillers wife. She appeared in his movies. She was also in an 80s/90s Nickelodeon show Hey Dude
It's a little wild and a little strange... when you make your home out on the range...
@@havok6280 lol, seems like not too many people remember that or the camp show with the redhead kid from Terminator 2
Her name is Christine Taylor. She and her husband Ben Stiller did Zoolander and Dodgeball together

Hey Shan, this movie hits home because I graduated in 1985. The soundtrack the clothes, Linda, literally every girl in my graduating class was Linda. You're so right Drew Barrymore being the American treasure that she is as usual delivers 110%. Her performance almost seems out of place in the middle of the Sandler silliness. As always, you're awesome.❤️💚☘️
My fiance and I were just talking about wedding songs, and I'm going to walk down the aisle to Growing Old With You.
17:53 "I know nothing about cars, you guys..." TH-cam interrupts with a used car ad.
The iconic 'cocaine white' Ferrari Testarossa in Miami Vice. Everything done by her cheating fiancee was based on Miami Vice.
The Wedding Singer is Adam Sandler’s best movie! Hands down. Great watch. 👍
I think we're alone now, is a great song to have stuck in your head.
The Tommy James version, maybe. The Tiffany version, not so much.
Crazy how this movie came out in 98 set in 85. That’s only a 13 year difference. We are now 23 years away from 1998. Time flies…
13:05 Shanelle, you say 'stir that pot,' I say 'throw your wingman under the bus!' That was cold!
Why Oh Why can't I find a gal like you? Loves 80's movies? Awesome! I was born 72, So an 80's kid fully! Turned 18 in 90. Can't get more 80's kid than that. I am enjoying watching these movies with you. You freaking ROCK!! I've grown up watching them, and have seen them so much, it's meraviglioso, watching you enjoy the movies I've loved my whole life! Plus, new movies suck SOOOOO BAD!! BTW I play guitar and sing, and I've performed the Hanukkah song, and songs from this movie, more than a few times for drunk people at parties at ECU, back in the day
Thanks, that was so much fun! I highly recommend "Four weddings and a funeral" with Hugh Grant.
The one movie I started to know Adam Sandler. I think my Mom loved this one because it's taking place in the 80s, and of course, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore 😊 And now I do.
Interestingly, George was played by Alexis Arquette who was one of the Arquette acting siblings, and who also appeared in 'Pulp Fiction' but as a male (the guy who emptied a revolver at John Travolta and Samuel Jackson and missed), before she transitioned to female and changed her name to Alexis. She died in 2016 at the age of only 47 as a result of complications from AIDS.
The one thing that lays bugged me was Drew's hair. Bob? Yes! Some strange "dutch girl" hair? No!
Oh yeah, JR. was shot in 1980.
I could never find anyone that would watch all those DVD extras and bonus content. I think I've found my community 😀 Big Up from down Under yo 🇦🇺🤙💟😎
Shanelle: 'I Think We're Alone Now' by Tiffany is stuck in my head friends...
Umbrella Academy: We'll exacerbate the situation for you. :)
JR... JR..... Who Shot JR? was a HUGE deal at the time, because the show ended with someone shooting JR, and then the writer's strike happened and the whole country went nuts. lol
BEST LOOKING REACTOR - Shanelle Riccio!
It might be an off beat Comedy, but LOVE TO SEE YOUR REACTION TOO "Taking Care of Business", the 1990 Movie, the Song ROCKS ALSO!
@@JacobDennisHarris8586 I love that lil movie.
Uncle Iroh saying "nice ti ties" is a moment.
Have you seen "The Covenant" Movie?
Drew and Adam have such great chemistry.
